thanks
as Adam Leonard said (email@hidden) (BTW in reply to my
note)
Also, a small note:
Aaron Hillehass in his book, said that if object wasn't created with
alloc, new, copy or mutableCopy then that object will be added
to the default autorelease pool
Reread that sentence in Hillegass's book.It says to "assume...[the
object] is in the autorelease pool". It will not always be the case
that an object not created with alloc, copy, etc. will be in an
autorelease pool. It might be a singleton or cached in some way.
These are usually implementation details, but just watch out.
and I agree with him.
so as you can see I'm very well aware about "alloc, new, copy or
mutableCopy"
and my initial question was
How can I tell is there autorelease pool in my application?
because if it does exist I don't have to create my own
and as Jens answered, there is no way to say

I just thought that all those 5 methods are CREATION methods they
are not
GET methods
so how do I know which one I should release?
You're way over analyzing this. Does the *method name* contain the
words
alloc, new, copy or mutableCopy? If yes, then call release.
Otherwise, it
will be put in the autorelease pool.
You're going into the *documentation* and looking for those words. The
paradigm is based on method names, however, so that you don't have
to go to
the documentation while you're coding.
